iPhone 14 Plus Screen Replacement
Go to step 1If your iPhone 14 Plus screen is cracked, not responding to touch, or not showing a picture when your phone is powered on, use this guide to restore your iPhone to working order with a new screen, a.k.a. display assembly.
This guide was created using the A2886 (international) model. If you're fixing a different iPhone 14 Plus model, there may be some visual discrepancies, but the procedure should be the same.
Note: On iOS 17.6 and earlier, True Tone and auto brightness functionality is disabled after a screen replacement, even when using an original Apple screen. Face ID is also disabled, unless the iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or newer. On iOS 18 and newer, you can calibrate your new screen using Apple's Repair Assistant to restore True Tone functionality on genuine screens purchased from Apple.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach the screen when reassembling the device. Your device will function normally, but will most likely lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.
